Ruby on Rails Starter Kit for Rails solopreneurs

You will have access to a lifetime access of LightningRails boilerplate available as a one-time-purchase license. You also get access to the public documentation to get started and that explains in details how to implement the different features (authentication, payments, etc), how to use the different components, and how to deploy your app.

Finally, you get access to the private Discord community where ruby on rails makers are building and launching new products.

After purchasing your license you will be given access to the source github repository where you can download the latest version of the boilerplate and get started building your app.

Finally, you will be able to book a 1:1 call with me, to discuss your poject idea and get some advice on how to get started.

Unfortunately and because of the nature of the product we cannot offer refunds. We believe that the value of the boilerplate is in the time saved and the features provided. We are confident that you will find the boilerplate useful and that it will help you build your app faster.

You are allowed to use the boilerplate to build as many projects as you want. You can use it for personal projects, for client projects, for your own startup, etc. You can modify the code, add new features, remove features, etc. You can also use the boilerplate to build and sell your own SaaS product.

However, you are not allowed to resell the boilerplate itself. You are not allowed to distribute the boilerplate to others. You are not allowed to use the boilerplate to build a boilerplate or a similar product that you would sell or distribute 🙏

No, you cannot have your project on a public repository. The boilerplate is a paid product and the code is not open source. You can use the boilerplate to build your app and sell your app, but you cannot share the code of the boilerplate itself. If the code is leaked on public repostories you are at risk of having your license revoked.

Yes! I use this boilerplate for my own projects, so I will regularly update it based on the community's needs. I won't adopt every new Rails version immediately, as that could increase the chance of bugs occurring. However, I will keep it updated with major Rails and gem updates to ensure the boilerplate runs smoothly.

The boilerplate comes with a license that includes lifetime updates, as I regularly use it for my own projects. Consequently, all gem dependencies and Rails framework versions will be updated on an ongoing basis. In the meantime, you can still use it with newer versions of Rails due to its excellent backward compatibility. For example, you can use the boilerplate with Rails 7.2 even if it's currently at version 7.0—at least until I catch up

Not necessarily—it really depends on your needs. Chris from Jumpstart Pro is one of the top Ruby on Rails developers out there, so his boilerplate is built with exceptional code. However, there are two reasons why I don’t personally use it. First, it's quite expensive 💸. As an indie maker, launching quickly and affordably is key, and paying an annual fee for every new web app isn’t feasible for me. Second, while the code quality is outstanding, it's also highly advanced, which can make it difficult for junior or intermediate developers to grasp.

On the other hand, LightningRails offers a simpler boilerplate that follows the Le Wagon coding school's methodology, prioritizing speed and cost-effectiveness. It’s an ideal choice for indie makers, startups, and agencies looking to launch quickly and on a budget.
